Bill Clinton, the former US president who has faced a series of health issues over the years, was admitted to hospital Monday in Washington after developing a fever, his office said.

“President Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever,” the 78-year-old’s deputy chief of staff Angel Urena said on social media platform X, adding Clinton “remains in good spirits.”

Clinton served as the 42nd President from 1993 to 2001. He appeared on the campaign trail for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris during this year’s election.

Last month, he released his latest book, Citizen: My Life After the White House.
